[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 152069, member: 1991"] Two more things you can do - 1) talk to the doctor about including a small dose of fast-acting ritalin. We've just switched back from Concerta to slow-release dexamphetamine (privately compounded for us) and difficult child 3 takes 20 mg slow-release, plus 5 mg short-acting, first thing in the morning. It reduces the totally zany time. 2) Get husband to sleep with ear plugs. I use those squishy foam ones, they're really good at blocking a lot of the noise. Or instead, get husband up at the same time so he and difficult child can get ready together. Other than that - there are other good suggestions here. Keep difficult child occupied positively. Maybe a reward of game time once he gets dressed and breakfasted quietly? A list of what he has to do in order, so he can tick off as he goes? We use a chalkboard. Marg [/QUOTE]
